solution

If you need reliable tether NOW, do multiple complete wipes of Everything,

then install the Carbon rom located here at xda in Rezound Original Android Development.

Will give you a rock solid phone with decent battery life too.

The Carbon installer should take care of your kernel install issues.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
No offense, that doesn't help his problem, he isn't flashing the kernel correctly. Tether works just fine on Tachyon also.
[HTC Rezound] Aaustinnn:
Solution

Hey, thanks for the responses.. I figured out what the problem is though, it was the drivers.. I was using fastboot already it just wouldn't recognize the phone after i installed the rom for some reason. So it's on now, but I can't get it "activated" with verizon? I try dialing *228 and it just tells me immediately that it failed. Anybody had this issue before? I was thinking maybe of going to stock, activating, and then switching back..
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
You never dial *228 on a 4G phone, it can mess up the SIM. It should just work when you boot it up.
[HTC Rezound] Aaustinnn:
oh,

****
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Is it a new activation or an already activated phone?
[HTC Rezound] Aaustinnn:
It has been activated before , but during the few days I've been without it I activated an old OG droid I still have laying around.. Not sure what to do to reactivate it now :confused:
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
If you moved your number (and plan) to an OG Droid you changed it to a 3G plan, so to change it back to a 4G plan and reactivate the SIM, you have to call customer service and have you plan changed and your SIM reactivated.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yvgamer94:
I was on my computer when i remembered i has something written in my tablet's notes that was important. I took it out of my bag and noticed it wouldn't turn on, it was out of battery (hadn't touched it for about a week). I just plugged it in the proper asus charger and put it down and went straight back on my computer.

I decide to check on it after 2 hours thinking it would be near or fully charged. I pick it up and noticed it was on a blank back lit screen. I unplugged it and then the screen turned straight off. Wondering if it didn't charge at all i re-plugged it in. There was no google logo (rooted), instead it turn on with a lit black screen and off and repeating a few times and then small thin artifact pixels run across the screen (red, blue and yellowy colours) and then stay at a black lit screen like when i first picked it up. I had just noticed a small buzzing sound while this was happening and still does so when stuck at the screen. I'm pretty sure it was buzzing when i had found it.

I redid what i had done (unplug, replug) and watch to see if it did the same thing. It did. I tried to power it off while it was at the black screen and it did, but then it would turn back on and etc. Same if i tried to enter boot loader or any key combinations.

I've tried disconnecting the battery and reconnecting and same effect (tried it without battery attached also)

I have a feeling it is dead now and i have no other ideas (checked many forums but got nothing).

Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0ge01:
It's surely hardware failure, have take some humidity or something like that?

Try press power for 60 seconds, if you wont see any Google logo there's some hardware failure you need to RMA ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_merchandise_authorization )
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yvgamer94:
found the fix

I found away to fix my nexus 7. You could be right how it might have a minor hardware fault, live in australia in the high hot tropics (high humidity). I decide just to plug it into my computer usb charger instead of the proper charger since it had a lower max amp output. Against my ear, a much fainter buzzing is still heard but this time, there was nothing. No power, no back lit black screen, just a very faint buzzing. Decided to let it sit just to see what happens. After an hour or so, i decided to press the power button and noticed there was a battery charging signal. To my delight, I'm sure it was in working order now so i powered it on and oh how relieved i was.

I determined that my device might have had a small hardware fault that made it draw to much power from the 2 amp original charger and thus why the tablet could not boot up properly (from battery depletion). Either that or my charger could be bugged to. But the thing is, since it charged to slow from the usb, i plugged in the proper charger and it worked fine. Just have to try not deplete my battery i guess.

Thanks.

2. install google search v2.6 manually.

3. set google now by using v2.6

4. update google search to the latest available through play store.

5. manually install google home launcher.

after this select the google launcher and google now should be working. i have done these and i can access is without any problem. can swipe left from home screen to see google now card and all. hope this helps to those who are having the problem still. :o

Since this works, shouldn't it theoretically be possible to find what the name of the Activity which holds the Google Now settings and launch it from an external app. The only issue seems to be that Search is hiding the button to launch it if it doesn't meet some criteria.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solarfish:
From additional testing it appears that Location History needs to be turned on for Google Now to function. In some countries this does not even exist so I'm guessing they will be out of luck unless Google changes this new requirement. I can confirm that this problem is replicating itself throughout Android devices, I have now seen it on N5, N7 (2012), Xoom (Verizon), S3 and Galaxy Nexus with a domain account that has Location History disallowed at domain level. On the same devices I have Google Now working with an account that has Location History allowed. Also this restriction does not affect iOS (yet) as all my Google accounts work fine with Google Now on iPod Touch 4 and iPhone 5.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Alexdi:
TLDR: I was running TWRP 2.5.0.2 and Cyanogen 10.1.3. Cyanogen told me there was a stable update available, so I flashed it. Without checking the forums. Like an idiot. The following ensued:

It worked on the first boot. Every subsequent boot freezes on the 'Samsung S4' boot screen.

Things I tried in order:

* Reflashing 10.2 in TWRP (no change)

* Wiping everything but the SD card (no change)

* Same wipe, now restoring a 10.1.3 backup (no change)

* Odin 3.09 back to stock attempts:

- Detects the phone

- 'Phone EFS Clear checked' -> 'can't read the file'

- Re-Partition checked -> fails without a PIT file

- Re-Partition unchecked -> says there's no PIT partition

- Re-Partition check w/ PIT -> 'write fail'

- Re-Partition unchecked w/ PIT -> 'write fail'

This is with both MF9 and the original stock image. Windows 8 x64 and a different Windows 7 x64 system.

* Installed Kies. ADB'd into phone to find serial ('adb devices'). Kies still says it's invalid.

* Updated TWRP to 2.6.3. Now it hangs on the TeamWin screen. (seriously.)

* Attempted to flash two versions of CWM Recovery. Odin fails with "Write(fail)", always in the same place. Then it locked up partway into a write. Now TWRP doesn't even try to start; I get a message saying I need to fix the firmware in Kies.

* Changed out my high-dollar Monoprice cable with the crappy Samsung charger cable. Odin works again. Flashed CWM, then TWRP 2.6.3 again. Got into TWRP. The restore of my recent backup fails. Still freezing on the Samsung Galaxy S4 boot screen.

* Flashed old backup. This worked. Booting was normal.

* Flashed new backup over old backup. This is in process, but hasn't failed yet. Future plan is to Odin over CWM and made a new backup, because... wow.
